Members White Fox Posted April 17, 2012 Members Report Posted April 17, 2012 I was just gifted a buffalo hide today. Its been mostly scraped, salted, and dried. It still has all its fur, and if possible I would like to keep it that way. Its been folded fur inwards in its dried state. I do not have the brains for tanning this hide. The person that gave it to me has scraped two hides before but sent them to be tanned by a facility, he didnt really care for spending the money on this hide. I would like to know, what the general process is, what chemicals are best used (preferably environmentally safe, like can I use white vinegar instead of acid for pickling?). I have a general process in mind, but any additional personal experiences or information I get before I start the process is greatly appreciated. I have not tanned anything before. It could be a few days to a couple of weeks before I am in a situation where I have the time to tan this hide properly. Thanks! Quote
